The object of this article is twofold. On the one hand, to examine the main changes of meaning undergone by some typical drug terms in Spanish. On the other hand, to review their origin and evolution in the last decades of the 20th based on four sociocultural contexts clearly differenciated: the LSD culture in the United States in the 1960s, the use of hachis and marihuana in the 1970s, of heroin in the 1980s, and cocaine and synthetic drugs since the 1990s.
